Colorado River Showdown: Feds Step In as Water Crisis Deepens

A century-long battle over Colorado River water rights is reaching a critical turning point. As drought conditions tighten water supplies across the West, upper basin states say they've already absorbed significant cuts, and the ongoing failure of basin states to reach a new agreement is prompting federal intervention. On today's KSL News Daily, Carter Williams joins Maria Shilaos to break down what's at stake, who could be affected and what happens next. Plus, the three things you need to know to start your day: a major solar energy event in Tooele County, a new mountain bike park coming to St. George, and a transitional home for people experiencing homelessness making history in the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. And before you go, we spotlight a massive 22-foot-tall bronze elephant created in Utah that's headed to Cal State Fullerton as the university's iconic mascot, Tuffy the Titan.
